BOISE -- Keeping prescription drugs out the wrong hands and our water.  That's the idea behind a new law enforcement program announced Thursday.

People with unwanted medications and old prescriptions can get rid of them safely -- for free.

- Medications must be bagged.

- Liquid containers must be sealed in plastic bags.

- Needles and aerosol cans are not allowed.

Drop-off bins are at three locations -- Boise City Hall West near Emerald Street and Five Mile Road, the Ada County Sheriff's Office on Barrister Drive, and the Garden City Police Station.

The turned in medication will then be destroyed.
